Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

We're the TK Lovebugs, and we totally love Read Alouds! We're asking for your help with donations of fun children's books for our classroom.

Think back to the books you read while growing up or shared with your own kids or students—those ones that stick with you, and you might even know them by heart.

Our lovebugs have their favorites like the Pigeon stories, the Old Lady, and other silly books. They keep asking for more, but sadly, we only have one book from each series, and our school doesn’t have the budget to grab more awesome books for our kiddos.

When kids are eager to read more, it makes a teacher’s heart so happy! We really want to encourage them to read and inspire them to become writers someday. Books have the power to change and uplift so many lives, especially children's! Help us get these book sets and change my students' lives with their exciting stories and messages!
